tom. >> rachel scott with that new reporting from the white house. rachel, thank you. president-elect biden is bracing to take on the covid emergency, pledging 100 million vaccine shots in his first 100 days. but he's inheriting a rollout that's far from smooth. take a look at this -- several governors asking, where are the doses? accusing the trump administration of lying to them about vaccines in reserve as people line up to get them. now the growing anxiety among americans desperate to get the shot. abc's trevor ault is here in new york city. >> reporter: tonight, states asking the federal government, where is the vaccine? governor andrew cuomo saying 7 million new yorkers are now eligible for their shot, but the state is only receiving 250,000 doses next week. so for, only 12 million americans have received the first dose of the vaccine, less than 4% of the population. earlier this week, departing health and human services secretary alex azar saying more doses were on the way. >> we are releasing the entire supply we have. >> reporter: but the reserve

>> reporter: some states are already setting up vaccination megacenters, like dodger stadium in los angeles. >> the vaccinations will come, but we need to be ready on the ground to have that infrastructure to get it into those arms. >> reporter: here in new york, the javits center is another of those mega vaccination sites. months ago it served as a field hospital. other sites like dodger stadium are being converted from massive testing facilities, and that is prompting some fears that losing the tests in favor of shots could cut into our ability to track the virus. tom? >> trevor, thank you. the need for a vaccine is greater every day as that highly contagious uk variant spreads across the country. more than 23 million confirmed cases in this country. some 226,000 new cases every day. at least 394,000 american lives lost to the virus. 46,000 just since the first of this year. abc's zohreen shah in hard-hit l.a. tonight. >> reporter: tonight, the highly contagious uk variant now
